This is next level cool. Avid mountain biker here and travel all over to ride new trails. Some of which are quite remote and take a bit of planning before setting out solo for the first time.

In my journey I've tried about just every setup imaginable. This app checks all the boxes I've been looking for:

- local data (privacy)
- import and store all ride gpx's
- can map out new rides
- can export routes to gpx for sharing and loading up on Garmin/iWatch/etc
- UI/UX clean and simple

Has everything I want and nothing more. I wish I had coded this... :)

EDIT: the meta data cataloging options to be explored. Personal ride journal in one place finally?
He also has a video on YouTube for Conical slicing (for those that prefer watching videos): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1i-1TEdByZY
Bit of a nitpick, but the short string optimization example seems a bit weird to me? I thought SSO normally consisted of a union of the buffer and the regular data/size/capacity pointers with some kind of in-band signaling, rather than the three pointers and the SSO buffer with the data pointer always pointing to the string data. The latter seems to somewhat defeat the purpose of SSO - the point is that for short strings you don't want to have to chase a pointer, so having the data pointer point to the inline buffer seems odd.

In fact, the std::is_trivially_relocatable paper explicitly lists std::string from libc++ and MSVC as being trivially relocatable [0], which seems to further weaken the example.

That's not to distract from the main point - that self-referential types aren't trivially relocatable - but I feel the example could be better.

> when you try to explain thinking about the organization's goals, and that their job is to help the team collectively achieve that... they think you're just spewing empty platitudes, like they were taught to spew for college application personal statements and job interviews.

Me in my first job.
No. This is simple. You sue me, say, for trademark infringement. Before the case goes to trial, you ask for a preliminary injunction demanding that I --- at least for the duration of the trial --- stop using your trademark. As it turns out, I'm not doing much interesting with it; the cost to me to stop using the trademark is minimal. Recognizing that, the court enjoins me from using your trademark, until the trial is done.

What you're saying now is "because I got the injunction, I won the case". Obviously, no.

"Plausibility" at the ICJ is a technical term, part of a 3-part test to determine if any preliminary orders can be issued ("in preservation of rights") at all in a case:

"What is required is something more than assertion but less than proof; in other words, the party must show that there is at least a reasonable possibility that the right it claims exits as a matter of law and will be adjudged to apply to that party’s case".

Plausibility is virtually always established in these cases.

Now, look at what South Africa asked for as a preliminary measure, and look what they got.

Again, it is weird that we are still talking about this, because I quoted for you the numbered paragraph in the decision that repeats the point I am making.

I'm noting that we are so far to the right margin on this very old, cursed thread that this post gets only 250px in my browser window. It's fine if we're not going to convince each other; we can just leave it here. We're probably the only two people reading this.

Go read up on ICJ preservation of rights process, though. It's fascinating. It's like a whole parallel law system, being worked out in our lifetimes.
Have you ever built a house? It would not even be possible for me to build one with inspections, I would lose my day job. And my house was 40k to diy, do you have any idea how burdensome an up to code contractor installed sprinkler system would be against such frugal costs.

Having built my house the price and accessibility absolutely spirals out of control with code inspections. Remove this madness and let the masses do what I've done.
Very cool. My company is building a very similar tool for nuclear engineering and power applications that face similar adoption challenges for LLMs. We're also incorporating the idea of 'many-to-many' document claim validation and verification. The ux allowing high speed human verification of LLM resolved claims is what were finding most important.

Deepmind published something similar recently for claim validation and hallucination management and got excellent results.

Putting it on Falcon 9 would not be ideal since then you're back to having a single point of failure in terms of preventing crewed launches by the US. Plus, considering that they don't exactly like SpaceX, while being half of what formed ULA...
- dozens of horrific 0days cves every year because not enough is invested in security, making private virtually impossible

- credit card required to install free apps such as the "private" Signal messenger

- location required just to show me the weather in a static place, lol

- claims to be e2e but apple controls all keys and identities

- basically sells out all users' icloud data in china, and totally doesn't do the same in the US, because tim pinky swears

- everything is closed source

Hi Brian, thanks for that feedback; we are definitely going to improve our documentation and will take this into account. I hope you're able to test out InstructLab and let us know how it goes.

I believe you have mischaracterized my point in the least charitable way possible and foolishly tried to just dismiss it rather than simply engage in the point.

Your low quality response is a shining example of my quote because you haven't justified anything.

Sharing a wall with a neighbor is something I happily to pay a premium to avoid. Hearing a neighbor beat her son or listening to top volume manufactured R&B beats at 2AM when I needed to be at work at 530AM are not fond memories. It was powerful motivation to take my career more seriously.
Hey guys! So, I did something pretty wild (and kinda strange) this weekend — I had my first chat with a voice cloned version of my grandpa, who passed away a few years back. Felt like something straight out of Black Mirror. I used old voicemails and videos to recreate his voice, and it was seriously surreal.

The whole thing was way more natural than I expected. I used play.ai to clone and create the voice. The AI caught all those little things that made him unique—his laugh, his wandering stories, the way he'd hesitate when searching for the right word, all of it. It's crazy how he seemed to be right there, chatting back at me. It's super impressive how these voice clones work; it's like they're actually part of the conversation, not just playing back old audio.

This got me thinking a lot about the ethics of it all though. Is it okay to bring someone's voice back like this? It's comforting for sure, but also a little eerie, right?

Would you ever consider cloning the voice of someone you miss?

Curious to hear what everyone else thinks...
You're 100% correct. Keyboard is not better than mouse, both are good tools which complement each other.
So, the product may not fit your use case or preference. That's ok. Others love it. That's also ok.

What's silly is thinking that a device that makes everyone happy is somehow trivial, or that a device intentionally made with a specific type of interface is bad because of that intent. If things were as bad or as trivial as some people suggest, someone else would have made a successful competing product by now, rather than the string failures across the industry, from those who have tried.
Redevelopment of derelict downtowns has been outsourced to massive real estate corporations who have created a successful formula that they can pretty much copycat over and over.

Kansas City's Power & Light district, which you mention, was built by the Cordish Companies, which cut and paste in Louisville and Baltimore, among others.

Certainly there are benefits of revitalizing urban spaces but the fact that it is entirely engineered, has little room for local entrepreneurs, and most financial benefits flow to a small cadre of real estate giants, is also somewhat concerning.
Most claims of "nearly as good results" are massively overblown.

Even the so called "good" quants of huge models are extremely crippled.

Nothing is ever free, and even going from 16 to 8bit will massively reduce the quality of your model, no matter whatever their hacked benchmarks claim.

No, it doesn't help because of "free regularization" either. Dropout and batch norm were also placebo BS that didn't actually help to back in the day when they were still being used.
IBM made $60 billion in revenue last year. Where do you think it all came from? The same companies/governments that buy their overpriced crap are going to buy these new LLMs as well.

Their parental control system is not too good either. For a box with multiple users (some kids, some adults), its almost all or nothing in terms of game access. Tough to sub-list when the main page is all the games unfiltered. If they could somehow fix that it would be good.
I watched someone do some incredibly impressive modelling on an iPad Pro via shapr3D, and yeah, it was a young person.

I’m into the idea of modelling like this, or drawing, but the reality is I spend most of my time and money on a desktop work station because the software I need most is there. I’m totally open to iPads being legit work machines, but they’re still too limited (for me) to make the time and cash investment for the transition.

You’re definitely right though. People are doing awesome work on them without the help of a traditional desktop or laptop computer.
There is iSH but it needs to do some insane emulation to offer a linux userspace, and so is quite slow. I have still solved plenty of problems with it, disproving that native iOS is capable on its own, or that ssh/tmux is enough over local environment.

I am basically fed up with my iPad, looking to sell it and buy an Android with termux.
Saying NYC being one of the safest places to be in the country is why LLMs will never be accurate. People will just say anything no matter how irrational it is.

Our espresso machine has been on the fritz for a while, but I barely miss it after discovering that a few oz. of TJ's cold brew with a splash of milk in the microwave for 30s is practically as good. I think warmed-up cold brew is one of my favorite life hacks.
Discussion of nullability is definitely an important omission here. Part of the issue is that Pandas itself supports multiple flavors of "nullability", e.g. the old NaN hack for Numpy float dtypes and None for object dtype. It is the way it is for good historical reasons, but now that we have proper nullable dtypes, the existence of these special cases only increases the importance of a coherent design going forward.
It's debatable if that's a fundamental problem. The entire Objective-C ecosystem was a flat namespace with prefixes too.

Web Components trace their history to trying to explain how the web platform itself works. HTML is also a flat namespace, and the goal was to empower developers to do all the same things the platform does and in the same way.

We hotly debated namespaces when designing the API and in the end decided to omit them but require at least one dash. You can think of the prefix kind of like the namespace in that sense. And in practice with reasonable prefixing practices we find folks rarely (if ever) collide, the same as ObjC.

That's actually the brand I have, and I'm as plebe-y as they come! I even have a mining pick in my garage that I use for manual labor. I'm nothing like the guy in the photo, more like the guy who makes the coffee for the guy who makes HIS coffee.

You can get Juras for pretty cheap if you go bargain hunting. There are also other similar but cheaper brands. As a category, they're called "superautomatic espresso machines". I don't know why they're not more popular, but it's been a total game-changer for me.

I got my Jura A1 (their discontinued base model) used, third-hand re-refurbished, a decade ago for like $700. A chunk of change upfront to be sure, but since then it's consistently made like 4-8 shots of espresso a day, every day. If reliable mediocrity were a virtue, this thing would be the patron saint of saints. And if a cup of store coffee were $5 (which is cheap nowadays), the machine pays for itself in 3-5 months. Best purchase I ever made.
Why hasn't Facebook made a browser that runs React/JSX as native code? Should work well for their ad business.

I am breathlessly awaiting the 2024 Lazard LCOE report.

What is striking about this is that usable Sodium Ion is just entering the market in volume. It should:

- push any and all electric-battery platforms under ICE equivalents by substantial margins, possibly 30-50% price reductions. Tools, Cars, Trucks, etc

- that will enable lithium chemistries to get cheaper, because they don't need to be used where their density isn't needed.

Sodium-Sulfur, which hopefully becomes viable in 5 years (might be dependent on commercial graphene so....), offers even more potential.

Have you read any of his other stuff? His essay on Bullshit Jobs (https://strikemag.org/bullshit-jobs/) is a good example that isn't book-length (though he did write a book of the same name that came out later)

Here I definitely take his condescending / snarky tone with a grain of salt, but as a reader I understand it as largely a literary technique to build a narrative and suggest / propose an alternative, usually somewhat contrarian, viewpoint.

I can't at all disagree with you here re: Dawn of Everything, as I haven't read the book, but is it at all possible that -- given we're analyzing the reported history of indigenous societies and the book talks about a proposed alternative viewpoint -- some level of "matter of fact"-ness works in a similar way as a literary technique? In this context it seems impossible to truly make a definitive claim one way or the other, as we're talking about histories for groups of people (who were largely extinguished by invading colonialist armies; Guns Germs and Steel and all that...) that are no longer around in serious enough numbers to have an oral history, let alone a quasi-accurate one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dawn_of_Everything#Recepti... seems largely like reception was a mixed bag, and that while there are parts that are a bit of a stretch, most anthropologists and reviewers found it a refreshing read contrary to the "canonical" (imperialist) narrative(s) commonly taught in history class. Is it as "mixed" from your read as that Wikipedia summary says, or do you find the discrepancies/inaccuracies significantly more egregious than the way I'm characterizing them?
Yeah it performs best with indoor bouldering videos with spread out holds and great lighting. I will post examples of it climbing natural walls in the paper. Will send soon.

M* has caused nothing but trouble for most mac user engineers I know (read: most engineers I know) who upgraded. Now not only are they building software for a different OS, they're building for a different architecture! They do all of their important compute in Docker, wasting CPU cycles and memory on the VM. All for what: a nice case? nice UI (that pesters you to try Safari)?

It looks like Apple's silicon and software is really good for those doing audio/video. Why people like it for dev is mostly a mystery to me. Though I know a few people who don't really like it but are just intimidated by Linux or just can't handle the small UX differences.
The examples given are always artists, whose jobs are actively on the chopping block due to AI models and systems which checks notes don't even run that effectively on apple hardware yet!

Of course, SWE jobs are on the chopping block for the same reasons, but I claim that AI art models are ahead of AI coding models in terms of quality and flexibility.
Because while self-awareness may be fertile ground for interesting emergent behavior, it is not mysterious. There is no “hard problem of self-awareness”. We basically know what’s going on at the ground level.

Whereas with sentience (awareness), we have no explanation for why any physical state is sentient rather than nonsentient. And since all that exists in our lives is our collection of sentient experiences of reality, this is a pretty big ethical question.
Businesses and farms use WAY more power than the average home.
Snowflake and Pandas already have the ability to decode/encode "logical" type information stored in a Parquet file header, which is how you can do things like round-trip categorical-dtype data and data frame indexes between Pandas and Parquet. So I think things are already heading in that direction, but a coherent vision is absolutely necessary to keep it up and drive adoption.
Agreed, many supposedly good coffee shops in the Seattle area (e.g. Trabant) produce espresso that is way too sour for my taste. (If you want a point of reference, IMO Espresso Vivace does it perfectly.)

It's awful for most. If a person lives long enough, they will likely lose the ability to drive. A lack of walkable infrastructure basically means social death at that point. How many people struggle with the decision to try to take the keys away from their parents?

Also, cars create mobility issues by injuring people.

The author (Brian Klaas) references "Radical Uncertainty" by Kay and King.

In their book, Radical Uncertainty, Mervyn King and John Kay draw a distinction between two kinds of problems: puzzles and mysteries.

Here is the description of their book:

Much economic advice is bogus quantification, warn two leading experts in this essential book. Invented numbers offer false security; we need instead robust narratives that yield the confidence to manage uncertainty.

Some uncertainties are resolvable. The insurance industry’s actuarial tables and the gambler’s roulette wheel both yield to the tools of probability theory. Most situations in life, however, involve a deeper kind of uncertainty, a radical uncertainty for which historical data provide no useful guidance to future outcomes. Radical uncertainty concerns events whose determinants are insufficiently understood for probabilities to be known or forecasting possible. Before President Barack Obama made the fateful decision to send in the Navy Seals, his advisers offered him wildly divergent estimates of the odds that Osama bin Laden would be in the Abbottabad compound. In 2000, no one―not least Steve Jobs―knew what a smartphone was; how could anyone have predicted how many would be sold in 2020? And financial advisers who confidently provide the information required in the standard retirement planning package―what will interest rates, the cost of living, and your state of health be in 2050?―demonstrate only that their advice is worthless.

The limits of certainty demonstrate the power of human judgment over artificial intelligence. In most critical decisions there can be no forecasts or probability distributions on which we might sensibly rely. Instead of inventing numbers to fill the gaps in our knowledge, we should adopt business, political, and personal strategies that will be robust to alternative futures and resilient to unpredictable events. Within the security of such a robust and resilient reference narrative, uncertainty can be embraced, because it is the source of creativity, excitement, and profit.

The author poses several "what if's" including the Jan 6 attack. Rather than the grim scenario they propose, I recall that a year or two later, the Capitol was blanketed by a giant snowstorm. Bad timing!
That’s my point - if there’s a real on-device LLM it may be much more usable with the latest chip.
